Bjørn Forsman c9baba9212 Fix many package descriptions
(My OCD kicked in today...)

Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.

I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.

I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).

Some specifics worth mentioning:
 * cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
   mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
   description.

 * ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
   "exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
   at the end of description.

 * nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
   doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
   the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
   makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
   nixos.org).

 * Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
   is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
   contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
   either.

Eelco Dolstra ab3eeabfed Rename buildNativeInputs -> nativeBuildInputs
Likewise for propagatedBuildNativeInputs, etc.  "buildNativeInputs"
sounds like an imperative rather than a noun phrase.

Eelco Dolstra cfde88976b * Streamline the stdenv bootstrap and resulting closure by removing
some redundant builds (e.g., GMP was built three times).
* Updated GMP to 5.0.2.
* Updated PPL to 0.11.2.
* Remove ad hoc flags to build GCC's dependencies statically.
  Instead, use the ‘makeStaticLibraries’ stdenv adapter.
* Build GMP with C++ support by default.

Shea Levy 8aa7d7b1ac Bump ppl to 0.11
This is so we only have one version of ppl when stdenv-updates is merged

Tested by nix-build -A gcc4.4, for the reasons detailed in previous commit

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 3f77d3da03 I downgrade ppl again to the stable release, and I make gmp 4.3.2 the default
gmp; we can update all once we have stable ppl 0.11 and a working cloog-ppl
with all that.
This way we should at least gcc4.5 building with ppl/cloog-ppl

Lluís Batlle i Rossell e31361657c Updating gmp and ppl (this last, mandatory, to match the gmp version).
I chose a snapshot of the future 0.11 ppl (that had to be released one or two
months ago, I think), waiting for the 0.11 to be frozen. Only 0.11 supports
building with gmp 5.x
